To be considered for a round, you must submit a complete application by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the day of the deadline. Use our online application system to apply and to check your status.

If you submit an application earlier in a round, which we encourage, you will be able to confirm receipt via the online application system. You will also have more time in which to schedule an interview (interviews are by invitation only). Applications received after the deadline for Round 1 or 2 are rolled to the next round. No applications for Round 3 will be accepted after the deadline.

When to Apply

General guidelines on when to apply are based on your application type.

• First-time applicants. We strongly encourage you to apply in Round 1 or 2. The first two rounds have no significant difference in the level of rigor; the third round is more competitive, as we will have already selected a good portion of the class. However, there will be sufficient room in Round 3 for the strongest applicants.
• Submatriculants. Wharton undergraduates only are considered submatriculants and should apply in Round 3 so that a more complete academic record is available.
• Reapplicants. We strongly encourage you to apply in Round 1 or 2. For more information, visit Reapplication Procedures.
• International applicants. We advise you to apply in Round 1 or 2 if you need to apply for a student visa to study in the United States. For more information, visit International Applicants.
• MBA/MA-Lauder Program applicants. Applications are only accepted in Rounds 1 and 2, to meet the early program start date of May 2016. We strongly encourage international Lauder applicants who need to obtain a visa to study in the United States to apply in Round 1. For more information, visit the Lauder Program.
• JD/MBA Program applicants. Applications are accepted in Rounds 1 and 2 only. For more information, visit the JD/MBA Program.
• Dual-Degree applicants. Applications are accepted in all rounds. Unless otherwise indicated, students may apply to both programs simultaneously. For more information, visit Joint- and Dual-Degree applicants.

Essay 1 (Required):What do you hope to gain both personally and professionally from the Wharton MBA? (500 words)

如果一定要给商学院essay的审美标准贴上一个标签，那么direct to the point应该是普遍适用的，特别是对于传统finance很强的学校，大家都没那么多时间铺垫绕弯，let’s be efficient。基本上，Wharton的这一篇就是问法明确、写法八股的goal + why school essay，对大多数申请人来说也都是比较简单的，唯一的concern可能在于这个“personally and professionally”究竟该如何区分。
Professional一般可以认为就是你未来的工作，
